re: #159 Dr Lizardo

Indeed. But to be honest, I’m sure things like that happened more often than not - away from the prying eyes of the people back home.

Oh of course. It’s at the core of the fear of colonial officials/troops/etc “going native”. No, I just found it interesting to see reminders of the German colonies pre-WWI and talking about it in general. I’m reminded, more by accident than by any actual similarities, of The Lover, the 1992 film based on the novel of the same name by Marguerite Duras.
